As fun as it is to get away to a big city for a few days, it’s nice to be back home. I didn’t miss much with summer in full swing and markets quite quiet but we are seeing a few good reactions to earnings with CMG BIDU FB and a few others so far and now TWTR tonight.

The S&P is still just hovering just below the important 2,000 level.

This consolidation could continue for another couple months and that would form a great bases that is needed to move above 2,000.

Looks like we won’t have too much to do still for a while but we can trade some good acting leading stocks using smaller position sizes.

Every-time I travel it’s nice to come back to the charts after a few days since it is like looking at them with fresh eyes so let’s take a look and see if there are any moves or patterns that are looking good.

SPY remains in a chop and will until it can break above 200 with a large increase in volume.

I’d look for a break lower out of this triangle, not a huge correction, just more sideways chop.
